Men. I am glad of it, since they’ll carry that detestable captain off with them at all events.

Scene IV.—Outside Zalamea.
Enter Captain, Sergeant, Rebolledo, and Chispa.
Capt. March you on, Sergeant, with the troop. I shall lie here till sun-down, and then steal back to Zalamea for one last chance.
Serg. If you are resolved on this, sir, you had better do it well attended, for these bumpkins are dangerous, once affronted.
Reb. Where, however, (and you ought to tip me for my news,) you have one worst enemy the less.
Capt. Who’s that?
Reb. Isabel’s brother. Don Lope and the lad took a fancy to each other and have persuaded the old father to let him go for a soldier; and I have only just met him as proud as a peacock, with all the sinew of the swain and the spirit of the soldier already about him.
